Product catalog summary
Application Specifications: The KCM16x series is a digitally controlled insulation monitoring device designed for non-grounded (IT) AC mains systems. It is suitable for use in various environments including land, marine, offshore, sub-sea, and ocean floor. The device requires an AC or DC auxiliary voltage and can monitor networks even during standby conditions. It features an ohmmeter and triple-zone status LEDs to indicate alarm (red), warning (yellow), and healthy (green) states.
General Specifications: The unit supports auxiliary supply voltages ranging from 100-120, 200-240, 380-415, to 440-460VAC at 40-70Hz, and 9-36VDC. It has a contact rating of 100VA for AC and 50W for DC. The operating temperature range is -20 to +70ºC, with a weight of 0.6kgs and front protection rated at IP21.
Measuring Principle: Insulation is measured between the AC network and its protective earth by injecting a coded signal. This signal flow through an insulation fault path indicates resistance levels. The device is immune to normal load influences and can withstand test voltages up to 1.4kVDC.
Safety and Compliance: The KCM16x series complies with the AODC035 Code of Practice for the Safe Use of Electricity Under Water and meets IEC60092-504 and relevant IEC environmental and EMC standards.
Intelligent Setting Assistance: The device includes a tool for setting and verifying trip levels and analogue outputs. Users can adjust potmeters to set alarm levels and test analogue output signals.
Model Variants and Features: Various models, such as KCM163E and KCM165G1, offer features like latch outputs and different delay settings. The Load Distortion and Earth-capacitance Detector (LDED) function helps differentiate between resistive and capacitive insulation drops, ensuring accurate monitoring.
Output and Connection: The device provides analogue outputs proportional to meter readings, with options for remote meter reading. High voltage adaptors are available for connections up to 25kV.
Connection to DIN96 Indicator: The document describes the connection setup for DIN96 indicators, which include LEDs for alarm status. It also mentions compatibility with DIN72 indicators and the optional use of slave indicators.
Optional Slave Indicators: Two options are provided for slave indicators: Option 1 includes a slave indicator with LEDs (DIN96), and Option 2 includes a standard slave indicator (DIN72 or DIN96).
Analogue Output Specifications: The KCM16x series, including models such as KCM161F and KCM163F, offer analogue outputs proportional to meter readings. The outputs available are 0-10mA, 0-20mA, 4-20mA, and 0-10VDC. Special outputs can be requested. The document provides a table for suffixes to specify the required output.
Reset / Paralleling Disable Function: The KCM16x series includes a built-in disable function for connecting multiple IT-networks. When one unit is active, others must be disabled. A flashing power LED every 2 seconds indicates an inactive unit. The disable function is activated using a potential-free contact on terminals 19 and 20, which disconnects the measuring input terminal 4 internally. A pulse on these terminals will reset any latching alarm.

The unit is for land, marine, offshore, sub-sea and ocean floor use. An AC or DC auxiliary voltage is required for the unit, if powered from a separate source the network can also be monitored during standby conditions. Only ONE KCM16x can be connected to each IT-system. The ohmmeter and the triple-zone status LEDs give at a glance the clear safety message: -ALARM (red zone) -WARNING (yellow zone) -HEALTHY(greenzone) General IDVMEASURING PRINCIPLE Insulation is measured between the complete galvanically interconnected AC network and its protective earth. The unit injects a sequentially coded measuring signal into the monitored system. The signal flows to ground via the path of the insulation fault, the level of flowindicates the insulation resistance. The measuring accuracy is not influenced by any normal kind of load attached to the AC network. Trip levels and delays are settable on unit rear. A trip LED flashes when the trip level is passed, the relay trips when the delay has elapsed. The timer resets if thefaultisremoved during countdown. Auxiliary Supply: Optional Voltage: AC: 100VA - 250V/2A max. DC: 50W - 100V/1A max. Contact rating: Analogue Output: F-versions Up to 20mA, max 500R Upto 10V, min100kohm (other on request)_ Temprature: -20 to +70°C Weight: 0.6kgs Front protection: IP21 INTELLIGENTSETTINGASSISTANCE KCM16x has a built-in Assistance tool for setting/verification of the trip levels and the analogue output. When either the Warning or Alarm potmeter on the front is operated by user, the slave meter goes into Assistance Mode and meter reading and analogue output will reflect the potmeter setting. How to set alarm levels: Firstly adjust potmeter fully clockwise (see that slave meter goes to the top), then adjust potmeter down to required Warning or Alarm setpoint. Without any movement of potmeters, the meter will revert to normal Insulation Monitoring Mode afterapproximately 10 seconds. MEGGERSAFE When auxiliary power is OFF the unit input is automatically protected against "megger" test voltages up to 1.4kVDC, and incorrect measurementscaused by the unit's input impedance are avoided. OUTPUTS All F versions have an isolated analogue output proportional to meter reading. If output is used for remote meter reading, we recommend 0-1 mAfor the slave indicator. SAFETY When a voltage adapter (CHx, ANx or ARx) is used the signal to terminals 4 and 6 on KCM163x and KCM165x is limitedtoasafelevel,avoidingany dangerous voltage exposureto personnel. NOTE Special versions of the KCM161,KCM163 andKCM165 areavailableas: KCM161M & KCM163M - Insulation guard with DC detection function, protected against high-energy DC voltage imposed on the monitored AC supply. KCM261x&KCM263x -Insulation guard with measuring loop continuity monitoring. Only for adaptersupto5kV. How to test analogue output signal: Adjust any trip level potmeter to activate Assistance Mode. Example: On a 4-20mA output, adjust potmeter fully anti clockwisefor4mAandfullyclockwisefor20mA. The KCM16x range is designed to comply with specification AODC035 "Code of PracticefortheSafe Useof Electricity UnderWater" issuedby IMCA.
